LOS ANGELES – No. 10 LMU men's water polo held off the No. 17 Santa Clara Broncos on Thursday afternoon to pick up another WWPA win to remain unbeaten and atop the conference. The Lions edged out the Broncos, 7-6, to move to 3-0 in league play.
 
The Lions fell behind 1-0 before David Carrasco and Bruno Salonikios closed out the period with goals to give the Lions a 2-1 lead after the first period.
 
Blazo Mitrovic opened the second quarter with a goal at the 6:25 mark. After the Broncos cut it back to a one-goal game, Mitrovic again scored to extend the lead and give LMU a 4-2 advantage heading into intermission.
 
Santa Clara cut their deficit in half before LMU rattled off three consecutive goals to close the quarter. Mitrovic was joined by a pair of Joseph Cavazos goals to give LMU a 7-3 lead.
 
The Broncos scored all three fourth quarter goals but LMU's cushion was large enough to secure the win.
 
Stelios Dalmaras made twice as many saves as goals allowed with 12.
 
LMU returns on the road on Saturday with a noon game at No. 8 UC Santa Barbara
